Re: Seven rival clubs circle Raiders prop Joseph Tapine
I actually think only 7 clubs chasing Tapine is an insult to him.
Should be 17.

Re: Seven rival clubs circle Raiders prop Joseph Tapine
I don’t think either is true. In fact, Botman strikes me as someone who actually isn’t that emotionally invested in the Raiders success, and has other priorities in life to be emotionally invested in. Like most of us, it’s likely the team he picked to follow as a kid and despite the lack of success in the past 28 years, it’s just our team, win or lose.Billy Walker wrote: ↑July 3, 2022, 8:12 amSo you passionately devote a big chunk of your life supporting an outcome that you don’t believe possible?

You just have to have a few brain cells and look at the competition structure then and now and you'll see the fundamental differences between where the league was in the late 80's- early 90's when we got all that talent, and where it is now.
A. Deep down you don’t actually believe your defeatist excuses and know that it actually is possible if the club was smarter. Or
B. You’re really sad dude.
I genuinely believe in the defeatist excuses, and honestly believe the Raiders will never win another premiership (unless through some sheer money-ball luck that nearly got us there in 2019).
It’s sad, but I just can’t support a different team. If that makes me (or anyone who agrees) a “really sad dude” so be it. It is what it is.

He’ll only get that at Penrith or the Storm, and he would have to sacrifice his potential earnings by about half

Re: Seven rival clubs circle Raiders prop Joseph Tapine
We've always developed gun halves from within. Even in recent history we've had the likes of Carney, Campo and Wighton come through the grades, all Origin or Australian rep quality. Nothing to say we can't continue to do that. I can't think of too many successful clubs (other than the Roosters?) who have recruited 3 or 4 players to build a great spine.
If you can develop 2 very good players in those key positions, it's really not that hard to recruit one gun player and have another which can do a decent job.
Maybe Schneider and Trevilyan are good enough to build around. Savage has some potential too.
Anyway, hopefully Tapine stays. If he does I expect he'll be on marquee dollars.

Re: Rivals circle Joseph Tapine
I was personally thinking 4yrs/$3.4m. So pretty close to your thoughts.Botman wrote: ↑July 1, 2022, 10:19 pm
Expect? For us... who'd **** know, we like to overpay our own, so whilst i wouldnt like it, with the cap rising to 11m and beyond in the coming years, 4-5 years at 1m a season wouldnt really shock me
What i'd be happy to do... 4 years for a rough average of 850-900k deal
So i guess, 4/3.6m deal

Lets address his post first.
Firstly, i fact never said in that post we could not be successful. I said that it only took a few brain cells (probably where Billy ran into some issues) to see what the competition looked like and how we built that team of the late 80's and early 90's and then looked at competition today to square away the struggles. We exploited a huge market/talent ineffeciency in QLD, NZ and country NSW. The reality is in those days, some of these areas were not heavily scouted. Where as now, every single club in the competition has scouts in those regions competing for talent, and the competition itself has added franchises into 2/3 of those areas that pull directly from the region. You'd be an absolute fool not to recognise the path we took back in 1987 is now more heavily occupied and thus a much MUCH harder path to walk.
But if i were to ignore that, he follows up with a false dichotomy. Saying it's either A or B, and ignoring options C, D, E, F, G, etc.
But that's Billy for you.
As for the rest, you are largely correct, though i am probably more emotionally invested than the picture you paint here. I love the sport, i love this footy team. This particular footy team has had actually a profound impact on my life. As i've posted about before, I met my wife through supporting this club, and the life we've built together is (fortunately or unfortunately, you decide!) inextricably linked to this club as a result, you couldnt tell the story of life (nor would you want to, it'd be a snoozer) with out the club and my fandom of it featuring heavily. And anyone who's seen me watch the team play would conclude im fairly invested emotionally. And there is also my... ample.... posting here.
What is different now in my later years, that wasnt early in my life is i ride the highs and lows of the team but once the game is over, it's over. A bad raiders loss use to ruin my week, i'd be cranky and stewing on it for days
Now i can move on almost instantly post FT, i can post about it here and discuss with friends but it's not impacting my mood the way it was when i was a late teen/early adult.
And whilst i'd dearly love to see the club one day win another premiership, i dont need it. As a person or as a fan. Im just a fan who'd like to see the club do all they can on and off the field to be successful but i dont need them to win a premiership to validate my fandom or my life. Whether i think the club can or will ever win a premiership again doesnt sustain or drive my fandom of the club, my passion for the club and the club's role/impact on my life does that. Ill continue to be a fan until the day the club or i die. Premierships or not. Because, well, that's what being a sports fan is. It's the rollarcoaster, the highs may not be as high as others and the lows might be much lower than others, but you keep punching your ticket to take the ride.
Do i think we can win a premiership again?
Sure. Odds are at some point by luck we'll stumble into another generational talent, or have that year like in 2019 where the team just sort of gelled and the best players made big plays at the right times and almost got us there. But to circle back to my original post, the path to that isnt amassing an all time great team by scouting in NZ and QLD where no one else is. That ship has long sailed.
Will we win a premiership again?
I've got 50 good years left i reckon, that's a long time in sport and 1 before i go would be nice
But i cant see one coming anytime soon.

Let Tapine walk, and he can have the choice of playing for a real football team/club that’s contending, or taking the bag from another rabble. We are squandering him.

Re: Seven rival clubs circle Raiders prop Joseph Tapine
Whilst all of us would obviously love to have Tarps re-sign you surely wouldn’t be blaming the dude for casting his eye around.
He probably has 5 good years left so this is the big contract for him. If you’re being brutally honest there are a dozen teams more likely to win a premiership than us in the time frame.
He will make bank with whoever he ends up signing for, but the guy will surely have a desire to win a chip.

Canberra Raiders prop Joe Tapine coy on new NRL contract
In-form Canberra prop Joe Tapine says he'll let his footy do the talking as clubs circle for the star's signature for the 2024 NRL season.
"I haven't really talked about it to be honest," he said. "I'm just trying to focus on footy. Obviously it's got to wait for November or whatever happens so I haven't really talked too much about that so far."

Re: Canberra Raiders prop Tapine coy on new NRL contract
He’s a gun.
But if he wants to run a million miles from this rabble of a football club, it would be totally understandable.
He’s been a one-man band in 2022

Can’t imagine why he would stay.

I’d be packing things up if I was him, it’s going to take a miracle for us be competing for the comp anytime soon.

It show where we are at as a team at the moment when he is our most threatening try scoring option inside attacking 20

Half way though the 2022 season and we're seeing articles about where players will be in 2024. Only in the NRL.

Re: Canberra Raiders prop Tapine coy on new NRL contract
You might be confusing Tapine (1 try) with Young (6 tries). Not that I'm suggesting our attack inside 20 is any good.

Re: Canberra Raiders prop Tapine coy on new NRL contract
I can see him joining Melbourne..
they will have cap space and a need for a front row leader..
He is wasted here where we give fat contracts to aged plodders like Whitehead...

Re: Canberra Raiders prop Tapine coy on new NRL contract
This place sometimes! Sure, he's probably going to join the Roosters, Storm, Broncos or Penrith on a cut price deal, or extend with us for $1.2 million a season.
My question is, why has he finally hit peak form during a contract negotiation season?

Re: Canberra Raiders prop Tapine coy on new NRL contract
Are you saying that for Tapine to win a Premiership he needs to turn his back on the Raiders?Ilanraiders wrote:Tapine please sign with Melbourne or a team that rewards your good work!! By winning games and maybe a premiership!! Get out of this club u deserve better
Conversely, he would have won a Premiership with the Raiders if he didn’t turn his back on Verrills.

Re: Canberra Raiders prop Tapine coy on new NRL contract
Harsh but true. But in the lead up Roosters trainer had a big say in that too. I was previously frustrated with his inconsistency and bad temper leading to penalties but he's really got that inconsistency and penalties out of his game. Really enjoyed watching him this season and hope he stays with us in a leadership capacity.BJ wrote: ↑July 15, 2022, 10:49 amAre you saying that for Tapine to win a Premiership he needs to turn his back on the Raiders?Ilanraiders wrote:Tapine please sign with Melbourne or a team that rewards your good work!!

Yes I was only having a dig (more so at some Raiders fans on this site actively wanting him to leave the club because he’s apparently too good for us).Hong Kong Raider wrote:Harsh but true.

But agree that Tapine has improved his brain snaps and silliness markedly.
